FOR A LIST OF ALL NOMINATED INES#talents PLEASE SCROLL TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE

INES#talent is a programme enabling promising talents from all participating countries to drive their international careers forward by performing at showcase festivals all over Europe.

INES, the Innovation Network of European Showcases, is a network of 20 European showcase festivals, supported by the EU.

Each INES#festival nominates between 2 and 10 promising and exportable artists from their own country to the INES#talent pool. In the following 2 years, all INES#festivals will book foreign artists out of the INES#talent pool.

Every upcoming band from Austria, Croatia, Czechia, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Lithuania, Luxembourg, North Macedonia, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom can apply.
The nominee has to be available for at least 8 out of 20 INES festival dates in the year to come.
